[raw] Recordings from my 78s collection:

Scatter-Brain / (slow fox-trot; in strict dance tempo, vocal chorus by Beryl Davis and Garry Gowan) – REX 9713 [tax code T on runout], A - matrix R 4156-1

flipside of:

Who’s Taking You Home Tonight? / (waltz; in strict dance tempo, vocal chorus by Garry Gowan) – REX 9713 [tax code T on runout], B - matrix R 4157-1

[NB: There exists an instrumental version of this and the flipside on a neighbouring cat. no. from part of the same session.]

Links for flipsides will come in due course for single-sided uploads, as with potentially soon all raw WAV sound files from the original digitisation process onto the chosen mono or [mainly] stereo taken channel/s, of which have been exported here to mp3 (inherently with waveform repairs if not listed here as “[raw]”).  The mp3 export is normally first mixed down to mono (the original records’ format) to largely cancel out the positive and negative peaks of crackle on each channel - rarely is it not a sound improvement!  Both media (the raw or eventual waveform repaired mono mp3/video; & the original-taken lossless wav file) are desirable to archive, undoubtedly the original WAV file (from very carefully taken and prepared recordings) most of all for eventual posterity or at least mp3 exports of these in line with convention, which can then be mixed down to mono if & when required ... to be considered/edited/re-organised in due course...

My 78s started off on YouTube (https://t.co/ov8iFJ9IXa?amp=1), but loss of functionality on the platform has meant that continued work has had to be relocated (although this fortunately seems to have been repaired of late).  A description of this work is on the photo collections gallery, which can be found at   is described at https://photos.kevinscotttoner.co.uk/#collection/99e09f65-8969-4767-9c7c-69e384439711 or visit @kevintoner2 on Twitter as another source of authorship
